ISLAMABAD: The Upper House Friday adopted report of Senate?s Standing Committee on Law and Justice endorsing public hanging for the convicts like the one involved in Zainab case, insisting that no court order is an impediment in such an execution of those involved in ?heinous and gruesome crime of rape and murder of daughters of the nation?.
Presented to the Upper House on Friday by Committee?s Chairman Senator Javed Abbasi, the report settled the controversy whether under the present set of law public hanging of a convict involved in heinous crime is allowed or not. To counter those raising the issue of ?human rights? to prevent public hanging of the rapist and murderer involved in Kasur incident, the report insisted that rights of convict has to be interpreted vis-a-vis the rights of the victim.
Chaired by Senator Javed Abbasi, the Committee met thrice during the recent weeks to discuss the issue raised following Kasur episode, to conclude:
(i) Prisons Rules provide the legal backing for provision of hanging in public.
(ii) The judgment of the Supreme Court is not an impediment in providing punishment of death by hanging publicly in heinous and gruesome crime of rape and murder of daughters of the nation.
(iii) Rights of culprits cannot be interpreted in isolation as same will have to be interpreted vis-à-vis the rights of victims.
(iv) The provinces, if deem necessary, may introduce amendments to the Prisons Rules to address administrative issue in the execution of hanging in public, if any.
The issue was referred to the Committee on Law and Justice by the Senate after HR Committee of the House led by Senator A Rehman Malik had sought amendment to the Pakistan Penal Code to publicly hang the convicts of those involved in kidnapping, rape and murder of children.The HR Committee had proposed section 364A, which read: ?Kidnapping or abducting a person under the age of fourteen years.- Whoever kidnaps or abducts any person under the age of fourteen, in order that such person may be murdered or subjected to grievous hurt, or slavery, or to the lust of any person or may be so disposed of being murdered or subjected to grievous hurt, or slavery, or to the lust of any person shall be punished with death by public hanging or with (imprisonment for life) or with rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to fourteen years and shall not be less than seven years.?
